ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

My violin exam has been postponed to late July. All because of some ulu volcano that decided to erupt in Iceland, all flights out of Europe are grounded and my examiners can’t fly out in time to examine me on Friday.

Can anyone understand how disappointed I am? I worked doubly hard the past 3 weeks, and I mean it literally. I’ve been averaging 2 hours of practice a day and just when I reach my peak, the world just has to come crashing down on me. Last week was just a nightmare. I practiced late at night, regardless of how late I reached home every day. I barely survived with 4 hours of sleep the past week and now it seems to have just amounted to nothing.

Maybe I just need some time to get over the shock.. I’m just exhausted. I was hoping to be relieved from all this exam stress in 4 days, but now I have to wait 3 months before it’ll finally be over.

Well, I can try to look on the bright side – that I still have time to polish up my pieces. But it’s not as easy as it seems. When I continued violin practice just now after picking up the call, my morale took a plunge and my playing was horrible. Yea I think I need some time to get over this major change. Currently I’m feeling more sad than happy.
